Cheese-less

I find myself inconsolable
My tears are barely tolerable
Though you vilipend my ways
On this of all fortuitous days
I want stomach resilience
But this is the worst experience
As a dedicated sauce dunker
A tomato sauce spelunker
Newly diagnosed celiac and lactose intolerant
On national pizza day I am improvident
While you cheerfully eat before me
My gastrointestinal fortitude will deplore me
